Ocean Thoughts 1
North Shore
The purple shoals brood
Like surly monsters
Crouching hunching
Tensed to heave their giant hides
Out of the azure sea
Dimpled droplets erupting
With a roar
Flinging fish
And flashing razor teeth

enjoyed this, cynthia.. hope it is the first in a series of pieces.. it has the legs certainly xx
You reflect the power and might of the sea well with great use of alliteration. I'm wondering if this is part of series of poems. Might we see a calm sea next? I'll look forward to the contrasts. x
A poem that simultaneously strikes awe and fear of the dormant power of the sea. I like this a lot. Everything is clear but nothing is overstated and while the menace is clear, what can happen is still subject to imagination.
This does a great job of describing the latent brooding menace of the sea, Cynthia

everywhere I turn at the moment there seems to be sea based poems. Loved the great descriptions in this. Excellent Cynthia. Beware of the deep!
